For a small fee, a person’s name was embroidered onto the quilt. After enough names were on the quilt, it was auctioned off to the highest bidder. On this quilt, for a mere 10 cents, the parishioner’s name was embroidered on the quilt by Minnie Harper. J. C. Russell purchased the quilt at auction for $25. It passed down to Frances Russell because she was the only grandchild who attended Zion Church regularly.
